No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I hope you're not inferring that Czech deco is in any way inferior to French deco. The piece is "glue chip" glass - a popular surface treatment in the thirties. But if it is American, or French, or Czech, or Belgian, or even German? we'll need a better picture of the handles and the bottom.

I've seen this pattern before a few times. It's generally attributed to Pierre D'Avesn for Daum's Verrerie D'Art Lorraine (Croismare) Plant. I think it may be shown in Cappa but I don't have a copy of the book to check (and I am unsure about one or two of the attributions in Cappa anyway...).

I can, however, confirm that it is French. I have an amber example which has a very faint 'Made in France' acid stamp mark on the base. They come in a variety of forms and finishes, sometimes flanged like this example, while others have more upright sides or sometimes a squared top.
